successful management of acute massive pulmonary embolism using angiovac suction catheter technique in a hemodynamically unstable patient
Cardiovascular Revascularization Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Ahmed K Pasha, Branden A Snyder, Daniyeh Khurram, Mahir Elder, Mohammad Reza MovahedAbstract:Abstract Massive pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic instability is a life-threatening condition requiring immediate treatment. Urgent thrombectomy or thrombolysis is commonly used for the treatment of this condition. However, surgery is associated with high mortality rate and many patients have Contraindications to thrombolytic therapy and are at high risk for bleeding. Cather-based intervention has gained increasing popularity particularly in patients with Contraindication to thrombolytic therapy or at high risk for surgical thrombectomy. Catheter-based thrombus removal can be achieved by many means such as suction, fragmentation, extraction or rheolytic thrombectomy. We present a case of an elderly lady who suffered from acute massive pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic compromise successfully treated with AngioVac catheter system (AngioDynamics, Albany, NY) with full recovery.

massive pulmonary embolism percutaneous emergency treatment using an aspirex thrombectomy catheter
CardioVascular and Interventional Radiology, 2010Co-Authors: Peter Popović, Matjaz BuncAbstract:Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life-threatening condition with a high early mortality rate caused by acute right ventricular failure and cardiogenic shock. A 51-year-old woman with a massive PE and Contraindication for thrombolytic therapy was treated with percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy using an Aspirex 11F catheter (Straub Medical AG, Wangs, Switzerland). The procedure was successfully performed and showed a good immediate angiographic result. The patient made a full recovery from the acute episode and was discharged on heparin treatment. Our case report indicates that in patients with Contraindications to systemic thrombolysis, catheter thrombectomy may constitute a life-saving intervention for massive PE.

Explainable decision support through the learning and visualization of preferences from a formal ontology of antibiotic treatments
Journal of Biomedical Informatics, 2020Co-Authors: Jean-baptiste Lamy, Karima Sedki, Rosy TsopraAbstract:The aim of eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) is to design intelligent systems that can explain their predictions or recommendations to humans. Such systems are particularly desirable for therapeutic decision support, because physicians need to understand rcommendations to have confidence in their application and to adapt them if required, e.g. in case of patient Contraindication. We propose here an explainable and visual approach for decision support in antibiotic treatment, based on an ontology. There were three steps to our method. We first generated a tabular dataset from the ontology, containing features defined on various domains and n-ary features. A preference model was then learned from patient profiles, antibiotic features and expert recommendations found in clinical practice guidelines. This model made the implicit rationale of the expert explicit, including the way in which missing data was treated. We then visualized the preference model and its application to all antibiotics available on the market for a given clinical situation, using rainbow boxes, a recently developed technique for set visualization. The resulting preference model had an error rate of 3.5% on the learning data, and 5.2% on test data (10-fold validation). These findings suggest that our system can help physicians to prescribe antibiotics correctly, even for clinical situations not present in the guidelines (e.g. due to allergies or Contraindications for the recommended treatment).
